Interplay of anionic quasi-atom and interstitial point defects in electrides: abnormal interstice occupation and colossal charge state of point defects in dense FCC-lithium

L. Zhang, Q. Wu, S. Li +4

Electrides are an emerging class of materials with highly-localized electrons in the interstices of a crystal that behave as anions. The presence of these unusual interstitial quas…
